As incoherent as Biden and Harris.

Well, it is her job to represent them after all.

I think she answered the question, y’know. Whoever prepared her talking points didn’t have a section for misinformation.

Lots of economists keep saying it not 2008 housing market but wonder if that is true. One estimate I saw is that 15% of 2021 home sales where second homes. What happens if we hit a recession, can these people afford both homes?

Just a thought

It’s really scary because 2008 happened following growth and stability, this one will come on the heels of the chaos we’re experiencing now

Retailers stocks were absolutely pummeled today as it becomes increasingly clear that consumers are starting to really pull back on purchases in response to higher prices.

Can't read this article but read about both WM and TGT and neither of them stated what you're saying, in fact both are forecasting that revenue will grow. They both missed on earnings and mentioned increased expenses as the cause.

“Analysts said the weaker results showed that consumers were beginning to curtail spending amid higher prices. “Underlying volumes are looking really soft,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of research firm GlobalData Retail. “This is the beginning of a consumer pullback.”

“Many large companies, including retailers, have been able to increase profits during the Covid-19 pandemic even while facing rising costs for shipping and staffing. Passing along price increases to customers while cutting expenses has been a common path to raising profit margins, but the latest results suggest there might be limits to that strategy amid current economic conditions.”

“Americans continued to spend briskly in April on products as diverse as cars and clothing, which economists and company executives say is a sign that consumer spending is relatively healthy. But consumers are also showing signs they are less willing to absorb price increases and are trading down to less-expensive items, according to retailers and manufacturers.“

You originally mentioned customers really started pulling back on spend, to me that sounds like a significant drop in revenue, perhaps 10-15%. However the latest revenue results did not show a decline in consumer spend, and revenue is also forecasted to grow a small amount. The quotes and article don’t contradict that.

Fatigue is real but that can mean lower/stagnant growth as opposed to drastic declines.

I simply paraphrased the first paragraph above.

If revenue grows slower than inflation it means people bought less but spent more.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

👍, the ordered items count is flat, even for amazon.

Walmart is starting to see smaller baskets and customers switching to off label brands.

Walmart is in a position to gather a ton of data. I'm curious to know if they're seeing more non-EBT transactions as people max out their benefits or switch from pricier stores.

Walmart's customers on average are on the low end of the financial spectrum, those that are likely to be hit the most by inflation and the end of the free money.

Not necessarily true in the parts of the country where Walmart operates Neighborhood Markets.
